Why Choose Hip Replacement Surgery in India?

For many patients, the decision to have hip replacement surgery overseas comes down to two things: access to timely treatment and affordability.

360 Global Health Solutions connects patients with established hospitals in Kerala that meet international medical treatment standards. The company works directly with hospitals and doctors rather than through middlemen, helping patients receive medical information directly from the treating team.

Save Up to 60–80% Compared With New Zealand

Treatment in Kerala, India, can be considerably more affordable than private healthcare in New Zealand. 360 Global Health Solutions states that patients can potentially save 60–80%, depending on the procedure and individual treatment requirements. The final cost varies according to the hospital, surgeon, procedure, and patient needs, so a personalised estimate is provided following medical assessment.

No Long Waiting Lists

You do not have to wait for a lengthy treatment schedule in New Zealand before exploring another option. 360 Global Health Solutions says it can organise treatment around your schedule, subject to medical assessment and hospital availability.

The company states that, from the day of enquiry, it needs around two weeks to arrange the required treatment and travel arrangements, subject to medical assessment and hospital scheduling.

Internationally Accredited Hospitals

360 Global Health Solutions works with hospitals that hold recognised international accreditations, including ACHSI (Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International) and JCI (Joint Commission International).

These accreditation systems assess healthcare organisations against recognised standards relating to quality and patient safety. Your treatment options will be discussed with you after your medical information has been reviewed.

About Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery, also called total hip arthroplasty, involves replacing a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint, or prosthesis.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball is formed by the head of the femur, while the socket is part of the pelvis. During total hip replacement, the damaged surfaces are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to restore the function of the joint.

The prosthesis can include a stem placed inside the thigh bone, an artificial ball, and a socket component. Depending on the implant used, components may include ceramic and polyethylene.

Who May Need Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement may be considered when damage to the hip joint is causing persistent pain and affecting mobility or everyday activities.

Common reasons for considering joint replacement include:

Significant joint degeneration
Persistent hip pain
Reduced mobility
Difficulty carrying out everyday activities
Damage to the hip joint that has not responded adequately to other treatments

Whether surgery is appropriate is a medical decision. Your medical records and diagnostic reports will be reviewed by a specialist before a treatment plan is recommended.

Hip Replacement Surgery Cost in India

The cost of hip replacement surgery can vary from one patient to another.

Factors such as the hospital, surgeon, implant, procedure, and individual medical requirements can affect the final price. 360 Global Health Solutions provides a treatment-specific estimate after reviewing your medical information and consulting with the treating specialist.

Based on recent hip replacement surgeries completed for our clients, the total cost of a hip replacement is typically around NZD $9,000–$11,000.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hip Replacement Surgery in India

How much does hip replacement surgery cost in India compared to New Zealand?

The cost can be significantly lower than private treatment in New Zealand. 360 Global Health Solutions states that patients may achieve savings of up to 60–80%, depending on the procedure and individual requirements. A personalised estimate is provided after medical assessment.

Do I need a medical visa to travel to India for hip surgery?

New Zealand citizens travelling to Kerala, India, for medical treatment require a medical visa. 360GHS will guide patients through the visa application process and provide assistance with the required documentation.

Visa requirements can change, so patients should confirm the current requirements before making travel arrangements.

What is the recovery time after hip replacement surgery?

Recovery varies from patient to patient and depends on the procedure, overall health, and advice of the treating medical team. The current 360GHS information states that patients undergoing total hip replacement generally stay in hospital for around 3–4 days and spend approximately 2–3 weeks overseas. Your treating specialist will provide individual guidance on recovery and follow-up.

How do I arrange travel and accommodation?

360 Global Health Solutions provides end-to-end travel assistance and can help arrange flights, accommodation, and other travel requirements through its trusted partners in New Zealand and Kerala. An approximate travel and accommodation cost can be provided alongside the estimated treatment cost.

Patients are also welcome to arrange and book their own flights and accommodation if they prefer. There is no requirement to book travel arrangements through 360GHS.

How do I know if hip replacement in India is right for me?

The first step is to share your medical reports with 360GHS. The team can then coordinate an online consultation with a specialist. The doctor can assess your condition and discuss whether hip replacement is an appropriate treatment option for you.

What happens after I return to New Zealand?

Your treating healthcare team should provide follow-up instructions before you return home. 360GHS advises patients experiencing discomfort or other issues after returning to follow up with their local doctor and share their overseas treatment details. The overseas healthcare provider should also be available for online consultation regarding treatment-related concerns.

How can I check the experience of my surgeon?

360GHS publishes doctor profiles containing information about qualifications, experience, and areas of expertise. You can also ask the 360GHS team for further information about the specialist recommended for your treatment.

Why Choose a New Zealand-Based Facilitator Instead of Someone Based Overseas?

When choosing someone to facilitate your surgery overseas, the most important question is not who can arrange your visa, flights, accommodation, or airport transfers, as almost anyone can do that. The important question is who understands you as a New Zealand patient and can provide support from New Zealand throughout your journey.

A New Zealand-based facilitator operates within the New Zealand business and legal environment, giving patients the confidence of dealing with a local organisation. Someone based overseas may be able to offer attractive packages or promises, but they may not understand the New Zealand healthcare system, the way health services operate, or the expectations and culture of New Zealand patients.

Our team has experience working within the New Zealand healthcare environment, giving us a better understanding of patient needs, communication, dignity, informed decision-making, and the practical realities of accessing healthcare in New Zealand.

When you are travelling overseas for major surgery, you should not simply choose someone who can organise a trip. Choose someone who understands New Zealand, understands your needs, and is here to support you throughout the journey.

Will There Be a Language Barrier With the Hospital Team or Surgeon?

English is widely used throughout the hospital, including by surgeons, doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff. Even for local Indian patients, medical records, clinical documentation, investigation reports, and treatment information are maintained in English.

Patients can therefore communicate directly with their surgeon and medical team in English throughout their treatment. While there may be differences in accents or communication styles, English is the common language used within the hospital and medical environment, so language should not be a major concern for patients travelling for treatment.

Where Will I Stay During My Recovery?

Recovery after major surgery is an important part of your treatment journey. Our partner hospitals have dedicated accommodation facilities either within the hospital building or on the same hospital campus, depending on the hospital. This means patients can stay very close to the hospital and medical team rather than travelling long distances for follow-up appointments or medical assistance.

Many of our patients have told us that having the hospital and its full clinical team only a few minutes away gave them greater peace of mind during recovery. If any concern arises, medical assistance is readily accessible, making the recovery period more convenient, comfortable, and reassuring.
